Speed was factor in accident that killed 4 Pennsylvania teens

Police say speed was apparently a factor in an accident that killed four teenagers in a Philadelphia suburb over the weekend and illegal substances were found at the scene.

The crash happened shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday in West Brandywine Township. Police identified the victims as 16-year-old Collin Feiler McElroy, 15-year-old Evan Pringle, 14-year-old Jerry Warfel and 17-year-old Kyle Marsh — all students at Coatesville Area High School.

West Brandywine Police Sgt. Jeff Kimes tells the Daily Local News of West Chester that the investigation found excessive speed was a factor in the crash. He also says none of the victims was wearing a seat belt and that illegal substances were found at the scene.

Police say the vehicle landed on its roof after hitting an embankment.
